How do i stop updates from ipad

i pushed on update all on all the apps and now my updated on the ipad has been saying waiting for the last 3-5 days and I don't know what to do to stop the updates.  every time i click on app store it just keeping saying loding and doesn't want to do anything else.  any ideas????????????

I have posted these suggestions many times and one or another have worked for other users in the past. Give them a try, but YMMV.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • How to pause/stop updates from App Store on iPad?

    Currently, I am on holiday making use of a prepaid mobile Internet connection. By accident I pushed the button "Update All" in the App Store.
    Then it started downloading 18 apps and consumed more then many MB's in just a few minutes. My prepaid Internet is just 2GB for a month.
    Now because of this within 2 days I consumed 1.1GB. After my error by pushing the wrong button, it could not be stopped what so ever.
    This is very annoying and cost me in 10 mins at least 20 Euro's. Why does Apple not support a pause/stop button? Or did they just forget to include this button in their App Store app? I was pretty up-sat. You recognize you pushed to wrong button, you see all the apps starting downloading loads of MB's. but you cannot find any button to stop it. You can't do anything about it and just let it happen and hope the damage is not too high.
    Please Apple, develop a pause/resume/cancel button in the App Store when someone accidentally pushed the "update all" button !!!!
    Many thanks in advance.
    With kind regards,
    Jan van Duuren

    Try to force shutdown holding home button and lock.button at the same time

    You linked them both to the same Apple ID and thence to the same iCloud account.  Don't do that.

  • How do I STOP this from updating to NEW VERSION? I am getting tired of uninstalling and reinstalling every 10 uses. Ver.10 is Garbage!!!!!

    how do I STOP this from updating to NEW VERSION? I am getting tired of uninstalling and reinstalling every 10 uses. Ver.10 is Garbage!!!!!
    WHEN it decides to run it does NOT member passwords.
    And besides, if I WANTED NEW I would DOWNLOAD NEW!!!
    ''[Profanity removed by moderator. Please read [[Forum and chat rules and guidelines]], thanks.]''

    This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
    Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from updating

    How do I stop iPhoto from updating itself every time I put a backed up iPhoto disc in to play? Now I quit or force quit iPhoto to stop it happening. Happens every time I install a CD or DVD disc. It cant possibly be necessary every time.

    Chances are, that disc was created by an earlier version of iPhoto. iPhoto is trying to convert the library on the disc into an iPhoto 6 library, because the file structure is different in v6. The only fix I know is to copy the disc to your Mac, let iPhoto update your disc as an individual library, then burn a new disc that iPhoto 6 will like.

  • How do I stop itunes from transferring apps from my ipad or iphone to my pc ?

    How do I stop iTunes from transferring apps from my iPad or iPhone to my PC ? I have App sync turn off and I have add files to library turned off. Yet every time
    I sync iTunes transfers all my apps to my PC. I have 20-30 gig of apps on each. A lot of them are 1gig each and it takes for ever to sync , plus I don't want 100 gig of apps just sitting on my hard drive for no reason. Any app I ever want is always available in the cloud so what's the point of having them on my PC in the 1st place?

    I'm pretty sure that the space is used up on your computer's hardrive.
    Anyway my solution to this nuisance of apps/itunes transfer was to allow itunes to download the apps from my phone...
    ...First of all I had tried to uncheck a few boxes in itunes a) automatically sync when device is connected (in the summary section) b) prevent devices from syncing (edit>preferences>devices) and c) Automatically sync new apps (apps section of device)
    HOWEVER, when I would click sync in any section, apps tried to transfer to itunes from my iphone.
    So after all my apps went on my computer (approx. 9 GB), I checked the boxes back, disconnected my device and deleted all the apps from itunes and my computer simultaneously (by clicking del/move to recycle bin).
    Now when I connect my iphone it does it's backup/sync thing automatically ...but no apps try to transfer
    Note: apps from your library cannot be set to sync with your device
    I can now also click sync in any section and no apps transfer.
    (This problem started when I downloaded an app from itunes rather than my device and I later transfered the app to my device. My apps section in itunes is completely empty now and no apps appear in windows explorer either)
    the only thing I am unsure of now is; what's going to happen if I purchase an app from itunes on my pc again ...I'm guessing I'll have to repeat the process (might want to avoid that)     

  • Help - how do I stop Itunes from auto update

    I have just deleted everything from my Itunes. How do I stop Ipod from being updated by Itunes automatically (it's now blank except for 2 new songs I just bought. My Ipod has over 1000 songs on it and I don't want it all to be erased by updating it to a blank Itunes library!!
    Thanks

    How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
    Another Easier Alternative:
    While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    You can then ‘right-click‘ on the iPod icon in iTunes’ source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says “Manually manage songs and playlists”. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
    If connecting to a
    i different computer
    than the ‘iPod’s Home Computer’, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the ‘Home’ computer – iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.
    Then: Transfer music manually

  • How do I stop apps from my iPad Air being downloaded to the iPhone4?

    If I download a game or app to my iPad Air in iOS8, why is it downloaded to my iPhone4 automatically when I sync through iTunes12 on my iMac. Have I somehow turned this auto match download? How do I stop this from happening? I only want what I download to the iPad Air, unless I manually decide to install it on the iPhone4 through iTunes12.
    jr

    With the settings changed on the iPhone4, why the iPad Air? I downloaded the apps to it. Then chose to delete them, which works. I just have to remember to delete them from iTunes12 eventually.

  • When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

    When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

    The way I sync mine is to have an 'master' folder on my computer, and underneath it I have separate folders for the photos that I want to sync to the iPad - I then select the master folder in iTunes and the folders underneath it are synced to the iPad, each getting their own album.
    There is some info on syncing folders on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

    If he has iMessage on his iPad set to receive at his iPhone's phone number, that is exactly what is supposed to happen.  There's nothiing you can do - he needs to remove his iPhone number from his "you can be reached at" iMessage settings on his iPad.

    You can do it from the iPad or from a computer, whichever is easiest:
    Set up an Apple ID in iTunes - Apple Support
    And then set up the iCloud account for that Apple ID:

  • How do I stop iTunes from compressing audio/photos when transferred to IOS device? (iPad

    Hello,
         I have noticed that 13GB of photo's only equals around 3GB on the iPad and iPhone. I noticed the same thing with audio. Although, I do not notice the compression with video.
         My question is, how do I stop it from compressing photo's if I want to? I understand it saves space, but what if I wanted to email the full size photo to someone. This also may defeat the purpose of some editing programs. I would like to know how to do the same with audio.
         It does not affect the original files in anyway, correct? Also, I using the manual drag and drop option for Movies and audio. I sync with the photos.

    With syncing photos you can't change how they are synced, iTunes will 'optimise' them when copying them over to the device - and no, the original photos on your computer are not affected, iTunes creates separate 'optimised' versions of the photos on your computer and copies those over.
    If you want the original versions of the photos on your iPad then (and if there were only a few that you wanted full-scale) you could email them to yourself and use 'open in' in the Mail app to copy them to the Photos app, or use the camera connection kit with your iPad to copy them via an SD card to it - photos copied via the kit are copied full resolution, they aren't changed.
    Or there are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which can copy photos to/from your computer via the 'file sharing' section on the device's Apps tab in iTunes, they will be copied as-is - that app can also copy photos to/from it and the Photos app.
    For your music, on the device's Summary tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, under the Options heading have you currently got the 'convert higher bit rate songs to ...' set ?

  • How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to computer?

    How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to my computer? I don't want them taking up space on my computer. iPad backups and apps on the cloud are enough to ensure my apps are backed up, so I don't understand why they need to be on iTunes too. I'm running Mavericks, iTunes 11.1.5 and iOS 7.0.6.

    There isn't an app for that!
    As far as I can tell there is no option to give you that control. It is worth noting that apps can be withdrawn from the store at any time. Should your device need restoring you need all the apps in your library to transfer to it before the app data can be successfully restored. Pulling that all down from the cloud would be time consuming.
    If space is becoming an issue you should consider moving the library to a bigger drive (which you should also backup to another).
    As a temporary measure you could try deleting some larger apps using Finder from within iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications while keeping the entries in your library. iTunes may complain during syncs that it cannot copy apps to the device because they cannot be found, but it should not clear them from the device. Test first on a single app that doesn't have any data that you would mind losing in case the behavior has changed from the last time I tested it.
